Antarctic Peninsula Adventure

In the company of expert guides spend your days exploring Antarctica in small groups, by zodiac boat and on shore, enjoying walks and hikes to scenic locations and visiting busy wildlife colonies. Over 11 days visit classic landing locations along the Antarctica Peninsula and Gerlache Strait coastline, including Paradise Harbour, Neko Harbour as well as gems such as the Melchior Islands, Fournier Bay, or northerly Cierva Cove and Mikkelson Harbour. Attempt a transit of the Lemaire

Channel, the gateway to the southern jewels of Petermann and Pleneau Islands in the Penola Strait region. Visits to historic huts and working research bases add another dimension to the voyage. To cap off this amazing trip, spend a day in the South Shetland Islands. Returning to South America there is one final thrill - a rounding of the legendary maritime landmark of Cape Horn.
